Adventures of an Ambivalent Gym Queen, Dispatch #110308

Gym Queen's Log, Workout Date 110308: It appears I may have turned a corner on the shoulder stiffness front. The aforementioned aches seem to be ebbing--a good thing if ever there was one. Consequently, the temptation to jump back into my arm-shoulder-chest exercises was strong. But the thought of another few weeks like the ones prior gave me pause, so I'll give it until Friday.

While I was on the weight machines, I realized I'd been screwing myself out of an optimal workout. I'd been adjusting my seat, but not the arm for the leg curl. Why it never occurred to me before is an embarrassing tale of obliviousness, but for some reason, I saw it today. Once I adjusted, the workout was a thing of muscle-toning beauty. "Huzzah," as my buddy Craig would say.


The thingamawhoosie in question.
The real question is, "What's it called?"

If this keeps up, I could be swimming by Wednesday--in the pool, even!
